Best AI for film production
Dreamina and Vidu each keep pages for all five planning tasks and share first place. Pippit, SceneMixer and Toonkit share third with three pages apiece. The count is pages kept on each maker's own site, read 2026-09-25; it does not rate what the tools produce. As of 2026-09-25. The rule below was written before the places were computed, and no maker pays to be listed.
1What is counted
A maker earns one point for each of five planning tasks it keeps a dedicated page for on its own site: storyboards, keeping a character consistent, designing characters, video from reference images and camera angles and moves. A page counts when its heading names the task. A sentence about the task inside a longer product page does not, and neither does a page the maker keeps for something nearby.
2How ties are handled
Makers on the same number of pages share a rank, and the rank after a tie skips ahead: two makers on five pages are both first, and the next maker is third. Inside a rank the rows run in alphabetical order, which carries no meaning of its own.
3The ranking
Inclusion rule. Makers among the 24 read for this directory that keep a dedicated page for at least one of the five planning tasks; the six with none are left out. Order. Descending by number of task pages; ties share a rank and break alphabetically.

Inclusion rule. Each row is one point from the list above, with every maker whose own pages state it, in the order of the ranking.
5What this order does not say
The order counts what a maker publishes. A suite can keep a page for every job and describe one pipeline; another maker can keep three pages and fold the remaining jobs into its main product page, and the second would rank lower without being the weaker tool. Nothing here measures how well a storyboard holds up, how long a retake takes or what any of it costs; the directory keeps no prices.
Six of the 24 makers read keep none of these five pages and do not appear in the table. The 37 pages behind the table were opened again on 2026-10-25 and all still exist. The full list of tasks a maker keeps is on its sheet in the register.
